Eli sets the food tray down not having an appetite..he tries to get up but finds it difficult as he reaches for the EKG a few strings of electricity jolts towards him. and surprisingly it doesnt hurt. "what the fuck?!" he pulls his hand away and looks at it confused. but when he reaches for the EKG again. nothing happens. as a matter of fact the EGK seemed turned off. he attempts to get back up again only to see that he somehow gained height "woah what the?" he exlaims as he struggles to maintain balance. he realizes he's only in the hospital gown that was provided to him "shit...i need...i need to find a change of clothes... my phone...wheres my phone." he spots it on the counter and reaches for it. only to see its dead "what? i barely used it..at school...how long have i been out for? suddenly a surge of electricity charges his phone to full charge eli is at a loss for words and just unlocks his phone. he see's the date and his jaw drops. he's been out for 2 weeks straight "TWO FUCKING WEEKS?!" he takes a deep breahte and opens the camera app and takes a close look at the changes of his body. his teeth eyes hair the way his skin seemed slightly paler..he clearly wasnt a fan he sighs defeatedly and glances over to the other side of the room spotting a duffel bag and puts on a change of clothes that barely fit him anymore "so much shit happened...all in one day..." *he rubs the temples of his head and begins to walk toward the door only for it to open revealing a sasha that seemed much shorter. atleast to Eli..sasha stood there for a good couple seconds holding soda can in her hand she looked up at eli she dropped her drink and pounced on him hugging him tightly as she cried "eli!....i thought...you got me so worried. the docters wouldnt tell me what was going on! they said you got shot! i told you to stay safe!" she said as she cried her eyes out "hey hey sasha chill calm down she kneels down matching her height im fine okay? im fine..*he pets her hair and she calms her down..."fine...but im not letting you out of my site.." "whatever you want sasha but i need to piss" sasha blushes and shoo's him away "whatever go!" as he walks out and heads toward the bathroom he looks towards the exit of the hospital when he spots kiko she looked like she'd been crying for days as a matter of fact she was crying right now. suddenly they're eyes met. they were filled with guilt sadness and shock to see eli. but before eli could do anything kiko storms out of the hospital crying leaving eli confused..

  Sasha walks up behind him "is everything alright eli?" she notices kiko.. but directs him back to the hospital room and sits him down...but scoots a little closer to him. "so...i heard...you were walking with kiko when everything happened.." she said with a hint of jelousy in her voice but she knows this isnt the time or place for it. "Eli...kiko...took what happened to you really bad...she blames herself...immensely. she hasnt been to school in days whenever i came to visit you after school she was always here crying her eyes out..you need to-" eli cuts sasha off "i know...i need to talk to her." he pauses and zones out for a second...and thinks to himself "did...she see what happened that night?" suddenly sasha snaps him out of it. "eli?" she calls his name "is everything alright?" "yeah...im fine sasha..." eli hugs her and sasha's eyes widen..but she melts into it.."mom and dad came home...they were worried about you..they'll pick us up soon. i texted them that you were awake..." "alright...i should start packing shouldnt i" they both pack up the things sasha brought from home and wait on sasha's parents outside. they're car pulls up and they drive home. we see a overview of the city as the car travels through the city. as the car passes light posts they flash a few times likely reacting to eli's presence eventually they get home and sarah's mom and dad hug eli tightly "we missed you much eli we were so worried when we heard what happened." sasha's mom says "but whats important is that your home now. lets get you inside..its getting late." says sasha's dad. they all enter inside the house and the scene ends
